PALMYRA – The Erie Canal was closed Monday as the state worked to raise
an 83-year-old hydraulic dredger that sank in about 14 feet of water
near the Maple Avenue bridge over the weekend.
Carmella Mondello, director of the state Canal Corporation, said the
water level in the canal between the Palmyra and Newark locks was being
dropped slowly by about five feet to allow the dredger to be recovered,
placed on a scow and taken to the dry dock in Lyons. There, it will be
examined by canal workers, and the state police, to determine why it
became submerged in the canal on Saturday.

SODUS POINT - Butler fruit farmer Bob Norris thought he was doing a
good thing, offering relatives who were visiting one of his employees a
late afternoon boat ride around Sodus Point.
Instead, it triggered an episode with the U.S. Border Patrol, who
questioned the legal status of the visitors and another of Norris’
employees, eventually turning them over to Immigration and Customs
Enforcement. Four children were also in the group, Norris said, but
they were released to a relative.
“They treated it like a drug raid,” said Norris about the episode, which occurred late in the afternoon on June 12.
